Stolen Idols
'Stolen Idols' Summary
'Stolen Idols' follows the perilous journey of Gregory Ballaston, an Englishman obsessed with acquiring two ancient temple statues from China. These idols, revered for centuries, are believed to contain a hidden treasure and to represent the balance between humanity's spiritual and primal aspects. The theft, however, is fraught with danger and loss, leading Gregory to flee with only one idol – the bestial one. As he travels home, the idol's influence begins to corrupt him, tempting him with power and darkness. He also encounters a captivating young woman, further complicating his journey. The novel delves into themes of ambition, greed, and the dangers of tampering with ancient forces. It explores the delicate balance between spirituality and the base desires of humanity, and the consequences of disrupting such a balance. The story unfolds with a mix of adventure, mystery, and intrigue, leaving the reader to question the true nature of the treasures sought and the cost of their pursuit.Book Details
